This week, I had the honour of creating a unique, customised piece to celebrate the retirement of Mr. Désiré Malabar, Executive Assistant Director, after 26 years of dedicated service at Canonnier Beachcomber.

The artwork brings together the soul of Canonnier—its timeless canons and ancient forts, the serene duck pond, the mangrove trees, the graceful boats, and the iconic white parasols by the sea. In the distance, Coin de Mire rises with majesty, while the warm glow of the sunset ties it all together in harmony. Each element was carefully chosen to reflect the beauty and memories of this extraordinary place.

This token of gratitude was offered by Mr. Lothar Gross, GM, together with the wonderful staff, as a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Désiré’s remarkable journey.

It fills me with joy to know that in life’s milestone celebrations, one of my paintings can carry the memory and spirit of the moment. Once again, art proves its power to transcend time, preserve memories, and mark important events.

This week, I had the privilege of creating a customised painting for my dear client, Anoushka, who came to visit her family in Mauritius before flying back to England where she now lives.

She wanted something special—an artwork that would keep Mauritius and her childhood memories close to her heart. As she shared her souvenirs with me, I was instantly reminded of my Lepok Longtan collection, where memories and stories become colours on canvas.

From her family’s hard work in the caro canne fields , to her father’s days as a teacher , to the bittersweet moments of leaving home—standing on the airport roof, watching planes disappear into the horizon —her stories painted themselves through me.

This piece became more than art; it became a bridge between past and present, between Mauritius and England, between generations of love and sacrifice.

When Anoushka saw her painting, she was so emotional—and in that moment, I was reminded why I love doing what I do. Art has the power to connect people, cultures, and time itself… despite distance, despite years.

Today, I had the joy of delivering another set of customised paintings—this time flying all the way to the Netherlands.

A beautiful couple chose to carry with them not just artworks, but memories of Mauritius—moments of family, joy, and nostalgia, now captured forever on canvas.

For this collection, I created a new version of “Fri Exotic” from my last series (the first one having already found its home) and added a brand-new piece celebrating the iconic Dodo . Together, these two works form a vibrant triptych with the Mauritius Parakeet from my recent collection—three symbols of heritage, nature, and the timeless beauty of our island.

It fills my heart with happiness to know that my art will travel across oceans, carrying the colours, stories, and soul of Mauritius into another home. Forever thankful to everyone choosing my art

A dear client commissioned three connecting pieces for his new home — a minimalist, textured series that brought me into a whole new creative space. Textured art isn’t something I do every day, but every time I return to it, it feels like a breath of fresh air. This project was an invitation to step away from my usual style, slow down, and sculpt emotion into every stroke. He envisioned something modern and subtle, with form speaking louder than colour — and so I let the texture tell the story. Every carved line became a symbol of his journey, of depth, of resilience… where silence and detail say more than words ever could. Grateful for the trust, the challenge, and the creative freedom.

Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as theI’m excited to reveal my latest painting, a custom order inspired by the stunning beauty of Nepal! It has been a true pleasure to illustrate this magnificent country for my dear client. This piece of artwork took me several weeks to complete, encompassing thorough research, conceptualization, and design. Most importantly, it involved understanding the unique story and vision of my client. Now, this painting is ready to be shipped and will soon adorn his new home, adding a touch of Nepal’s charm and splendor. destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.
